Baby Bug

We had beautiful weather this past weekend, which has the Furr family pining for spring. Ryan came by to wash his car Saturday morning and Larry turned on the sprinklers for the first time after fertilizing the lawn. The fertilizer included some weed and bug killer. However, there's one little bug we'll keep around.Speaking of bugs...this past week we had a funny experience with a bug (not Ava, but a real bug). I arrived home from work one day as Krista was telling me about this scary bug that she had caught earlier in the day. She said she saved it for me to see (and dispose of). So I went out to the coffee table where she had the bug trapped in a plastic cup with a piece of paper on top to keep the bug in. And wouldn't you know it, the bug had escaped. As you might imagine, Krista spent the evening feeling quite "antsy" about the fugitive bug. Luckily, she found the bug the very next day and trapped it a little better the second time around.At any rate, it was a lovely weekend which made for some good walks. Ava really enjoyed being outside in the nice weather, although she's not a fan of getting the sun in her eyes.
